I can't hold it in anymore!!!!! I've been working with Theresa to get this going. It's not quite finished, yet, but I just can't wait. Check it out and BE SURE to update your bookmarks!!!!!! And if you have my blog listed on your blog/website, don't forget to update that, too. I know it's a pain, but it's worth it. The new blog is so much purdier.

Today has been the craziest day and I am positively beat. But, I have yet to go to sleep withough posting a sneak peek of the day's session and today will be no exception. Since last year's bluebonnet field has become a parking lot, I've been desperate to find a replacement. I passed this place on my way to take the kids to school this morning. This little cutie's mom was SUCH a trooper! I told her the flowers are perfect, the weather is perfect, the timing is perfect...can we make it happen today???

And, just like that, she has packed up little miss M (note: her name is not "bonnie") and next thing you know, we're venturing around in this field of wildflowers. All it took was a little Pirate's Booty and miss M was willing to stay in one spot just long enough for me to snap a few pics.

Keep in mind, this may be part one of our time with miss M, so stay tuned for more pics in the future. Thanks, E! It was GREAT to meet you and drive around with you today!

I overheard this conversation in the back of the van yesterday:Tristan: "Well, Logan, next year, I won't get to see you at school anymore."L: "Whyyyyyy, Tee Tee?"T: "I'm going to go to a big boy school."L: "My don't want you to go to big boy school."T: "Well, Logs, I'm going to be a big boy and I have to go to Olive Garden."

Long pause while I recover..."Oh, sweetie, I think you mean kindergarten."

1. March is, of course, closed for bookings, but I have 2 spaces left for sessions in April. And, I've also opened up May, so let me know if you want to set up a session in the next few months.

2. There is a Cupcake Academy scheduled for NEXT Sunday, March 30th. Originally, this was only going to be for individuals who have not had a Pinkle Toes session, but we've got a few spaces left, so I thought I'd go ahead and open those up for any past clients as well.

3. This is just another adorable pic I had to share from my "little dolls" session last week.

There are times when the magic of Austin, Texas just hits you and fills your sails. Like tonight. Here is this beautiful couple, SxSW has taken over downtown, great music and the smell of Mexican food fill the air, it's warm with a wonderful breeze, a brand new life is just peeking around the corner, the sunset casts a soft glow over the city...and you think, "Wow. It's great to be alive in Austin, Texas, tonight."

I said I wanted her to look urban chic. She nailed it.

You would not believe what surrounded us in the ally. (Okay, so not all of Austin is perfect. )

Is it bedtime, yet? How is it that these kiddos can go and go and go and have NO nap while my hubby and I are about to collapse from exhaustion? I take that back. I see now that hubby has already passed out on the floor.

Pinkle Toes Photography

I’m a self-taught photographer and I’ve had the honor of photographing hundreds of families and babies all across Austin, Texas for more than SIX years now (wow…has it been that long?). I also teach professional lifestyle photographer workshops to photographers from all over the world.

Before we meet, you might like to know that:

I will most likely hug you when I see you. And when I leave.

I went to a technology-centered high school, but I actually wanted to be on Broadway.

This career is way better.

I have three young children and an amazing husband who does EVERYTHING to keep this household running smoothly.

If it weren’t for my husband, I would probably starve.

I’m a night owl. Don’t be surprised to get an e-mail from me at 3 a.m.

You would probably beat me at poker. I do NOT have the ability to hide my emotions and it will be quite apparent at your session.

I may seem scatter-brained at times, but that’s only because there are too many ideas bouncing around in my head.

I use bullet points like they’re going out of style. They make me feel all neat and tidy.

I get really excited when I see beautiful light or a beautiful moment between people.

I’m fun-loving and jovial, but I like to get down to business when I’m on a mission.

I get emotionally tied to every session. I have to. I couldn’t do this otherwise.
